First Lecture

Gave my very first lecture today. Guess which of the following happened-a. I got soap on my shirt before my lecture. This also happened before the first classb. Got a little tongue-tiedc. My voice became froggyd. I tripped over a length of corde. I made this image comparison:f. Reminded students that I grade their exams and projects- it would behoove them to laugh at my jokesg. Totally fell in love with teaching. Until someone falls asleep that is!

If you answered all of the above, you are correct. And creative, because it wasn't even a choice! I think I like my new job. I mean, I'll be better when I can talk about the Greeks and Romans. There isn't a whole lot to say about Paleo- and Neolithic art. Not enough to fill up an hour and fifteen minutes, anyhow. Oh man, gob help the students when I get to Rome, though!

Woo,hoo, I love your Britney Spears and ancient art comparison. A few years back my students would have said, "You are da bomb." (Sadly, I don't know the current seventh grade lingo. But, that does not matter as you are not teaching seventh graders.)
